Nepal’s Securities Intermediaries at the Frontline of AML/CFT: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges
Nepal’s capital market is expanding in both size and complexity as globalization and digital finance deepen cross-border linkages. That growth also elevates exposure to money laundering and terrorist-financing risks, making AML/CFT not just a compliance checkbox but a core pillar of market integrity. Securities intermediaries—brokers, merchant bankers, investment bankers, and asset managers—sit at the frontline: their diligence and systems largely determine whether illicit flows can penetrate the market or are stopped at the gate. The legal and institutional scaffolding exists. Nepal’s regime is anchored in the Asset (Money) Laundering Prevention and Terrorist Financing Act, SEBON’s AML/CFT directives, and the Financial Information Unit (FIU) under Nepal Rastra Bank, supported by the Department of Money Laundering Prevention. Together these set obligations for due diligence, risk-based supervision, suspicious transaction reporting, and record retention, while aligning Nepal with international standards such as those of the FATF.

Elephant Came… But Empty! NEPSE Index Declines While Turnover Surges
Elephant Came… But Empty! NEPSE Index Declines While Turnover Surges Market Index Declines Despite Higher Turnover Kathmandu — On the last trading day of the week, Thursday, Nepal’s stock market witnessed a decline. Analysts pointed out that uncertainty arose in the market after the dividend procedure issued by the central bank a day earlier, though they stressed that the directive itself is a positive development. The NEPSE index, which had climbed above the 2800 mark on Wednesday, fell by 38.10 points to close at 2781 on Thursday. This marks a retreat below the psychological 2800 level after consecutive gains in recent sessions. Despite the fall in the index, market turnover surged significantly. Compared to Wednesday’s NPR 7.68 billion, Thursday’s turnover crossed NPR 8.09 billion. According to NEPSE, a total of 178.91 million shares of 322 listed companies were traded 78,379 times.
